The half day is a great time for Pine Ridge students to spend the afternoon decorating signs to bring to Friday’s FHC Varsity basketball games starting with the boys team tipping off at 5:30. Admission is free to Pine Ridge students wearing FHC/Pine Ridge/Ranger Rally gear. The Young Rangers group will be sitting behind the Rangers bench on the Visitors side and it’s always fun to cheer on the players during team introductions, so get there early! Pine Ridge students who show the most Ranger spirit will have the chance to win great prizes from Bagger Dave’s, JT’s Pizza, Culver’s and Freddy’s. A special thanks to these local business for their generous donations to Young Rangers Night.
